hey everyone
im starting a small company in my hometown, I've been doing some research on how to start and maintain my own web server. But msot of it sounds almost like gibberish.
i have two machines, a 500mhz IBM Aptiva (old enough for you?) that i would love to use as a low-cost server
on the other hand i havee my spare 3.2 ghz- pentium D HP.
Either can be used as the server, but the IBM either does this or it is trash
Basically, i want to makea webpage Where customers can visit and conteact me (through email ect..) and get information about my company
however, i do not want to pay the big companis Godaddy, to host it
i DO have an always on Satic IP interenet connection, i need help knowing just how to
"get the computer online"
any advice?
Hosting my own personal webopage?
I have tried hosting my own server but it is time cosuming and you will have to run your computer 247 which will damage your computer in the long term.
There are cheap reliable hosting providers.
I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.

They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 600000 MB (600 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.
